D.C. is 46% Black and has 0 senators
Wyoming is 1% Black and has 2 senators
D.C. has 120,000 more people than Wyoming.
Opposition to D.C. statehood is racist. Period.
The nerve of people who ask “how are you going to pay for it?” whenever we propose building advanced public education, healthcare, & climate infrastructure yet defend a system where Trump pays $750 in taxes and Amazon pays none is beyond me.
Yes. Trump's not alone.
Federal income taxes paid by corporations a year after his tax plan was signed into law:
$0: Amazon
$0: GM
$0: Netflix
$0: Chevron
$0: FedEx
$0: Eli Lilly
$0: Starbucks
Dr. King was right. We have socialism for the rich, rugged capitalism for the rest.
Trump's not alone. Over a three-year period, the top 1% avoided $800 billion in taxes. That's enough to:
🎓Make public colleges tuition-free
👩👦👦Eliminate child hunger
🚰Provide clean drinking water to all
🏡End homelessness
Yes. The 1% have got to pay their fair share of taxes.
I created an animation to show the progression of the fires in Oregon. They just exploded on 9/7. These fires started back around August 17th! #OregonIsBurning#OregonFires2020#NASA
This is not the time for Congress to go on recess. Our work isn't done. We need to force Trump to use the Defense Production Act to ramp up the development of tests and necessary equipment for health care professionals. And we need to do more to help struggling families.
Today’s the day. Join one of over 250+ sister actions happening across the country.
